Deep Lake Mystery

Description

A horrendous murder case of a rich man who got so many friends and had no rivals, or so they thought. The murder was committed in a closed room, the room has been secured and no one can go outside, other than threatening your life by plummeting through a window into an unfathomable and ominous body of water with spinning currents and plenty of rocks. The dead body was adorned with wreath of flowers in his head and in his chest, a crucifix, one orange, a feather scarf placed everywhere, two pieces of crackers, a handkerchief, and a feather cloth, not to mention a nail. Also visible to the crime scene is a watch soaked in a pitcher of water at the side of the bed. A tough and mind boggling mystery to solve, a crime no one has ever expected to happen.
